It's time to move on

Last year, millions of us rejected the politics of austerity, fear and inequality. We voted for change. So, let's change things.

We shouldn't let the idea of federal deficits, even relatively large ones, scare us off making much needed investments in Canada. There is more than enough fiscal room to ensure that everyone can have a better future.

Our Alternative Federal Budget proves that we can fight climate change and create jobs at the same time; that we can reduce poverty and grow the economy responsibly; and that we can raise the standard of living for everyone, not just for a wealthy few.

Watch and share the video below to help us show the government that we're ready to move on the issues that matter.

OTTAWA—The 2016 Alternative Federal Budget (AFB), released today by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), projects a federal deficit of $29.2 billion for 2016-17 when Liberal platform measures are taken into account. It also delivers a blueprint showing how the government could take on a $37.9 billion deficit and still maintain Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio.
